Tokyo’s sesame egg is a fusion of Japanese fruit and Western cake, with a white chocolate outer layer, a sandwich cake, and a thick, semi-liquid sesame inner layer, you can feel the layers of flavour in each bite.

They started out in Fukuoka during the Meiji era, but after they were sold in Tokyo, they became a must-buy souvenir. They have a thin crust and are filled with a bean paste filling (beans called taro), which tastes a bit like mung bean cake.

Where to buy: They can be found at several major JR stations, Tokyo Station and almost all airports.

The Tokyo pudding comes in a box of eight, with a paper spoon for the environment, and unlike other puddings, the bottom layer is filled not with caramel but with mashed red beans from Hokkaido! The smooth and creamy egg pudding with the aroma of red beans is really delicious!

Where to buy: Daimaru Department Store 1F inside Tokyo Station (Yaesu North Exit)
